wips belong in the wip thread, easy mistake, but thats maybe whats going on with this one
bregan, apostate of darkness WIP
http://www.coolminiornot.com/136012
I think its great, so far.
When you take the photo though, try it with a piece of white or grey or sky blue paper behind it, then people can see it in all its glory
hope that helps

All a voter can see is what is put in front of him, and thats your photo, if you work on this, so people can see what you have painted you will get the deserved votes.

We cant see any detail, as its far too dark, and you need shots of the front, back, and sword. All on one combined photo
Hope this helps,

Ditto to all that\'s been said, plus, I wouldn\'t take any more photos in front of those tiles, they are reflecting light back into the camara, so the mini\'s look back lit, probably one of the resons they look so dark.
IMHO there\'s so many mini\'s on here, that if the photo\'s even a little dodgy, the subject matters been over done, or what ever little thing, people just won\'t bother to vote, or they\'ll hit 5 and move on.

move your camera further back, it will help to stop the blurring by allowing the camera to focus properly.
use better lighting, at the moment it is too dark.
and don\'t crop parts of the model off when editing.
when your photography is up to scratch then we can comment on the minis better.

Imo, the ratings are not so awful.
By looking at them, everything is nice, but everything could be better, if your aiming above 7s. Better pics would help, but not that much, the people are hard to impress, and they are not catchy enough compositionwise to get the rating the technique deserve.
I think you should be happy with high 6s.

Ratings look pretty close to what they should be to me. Must concur with my collegues as to the photography, so much as to the quality of the paint jobs has to be guessed at because the photography is rather bad (read as dark, distant, and poor settings). Your newest WIP looks like it\'s going to come out really nice though I personally dislike rating WIPs.

I\'ll assume you\'re referring to this one:

Based on what can be seen in that photograph, I can\'t say that I\'d terribly disagree with that score, no.
Overall, I don\'t see anything in any of the pics that distinguish them as higher that they are currently getting. As has been said, better pics may very well help your scores.

I agree, pictures. From what I can tell the paintings pretty good. Just need to show it off

You wearing your \"phlosophical pants\" today big guy?!
I think most of what has been said is right. Apart from bad lighting tho is picture composition. If you cant see all the mini or the carefully painted magic sword then no-one will know what youve done. Once you get your lighting sorted try doing some editing by adding some close ups of different areas.
Good luck.
